The Blues That Made Me Drunk |
| Well, I ack’d a sweet mama |
| Just to let me a-be her kid |
| She said, 'I might get boogered, Sonny |
| An you couldn’t a-keep it hidden' |
| Well, looked at me an she a’gain to smile |
| She said, 'Now, I thought I could use you for my a-man a while |
| Lord, if you just don’t let my, Herman catch ya 'ere! |
| Now, an if ya just don’t let my, Herman catch you here' |
| Well, some said it was degrees |
| Some said it wadn’t, nothin' but disease |
| But whatev’r it is |
| A-slow achin’s killin' people, a-by-n degree |
| I know that this slow-achin' something |
| Murdering people by degrees |
| You know it’s a soberin' thought |
| Killin' you by degree |
| Well, I went upstairs |
| To pack my, a-leavin' trunk |
| An I ain’t never, a-drunk no whiskey |
| Know the blues made me a-sloppy drunk |
| But I ain’t never drunk no whiskey |
| But that old, blue-ooos made me drunk |
| I ain’t never drunk no whiskey |
| Blue-ooos that made me drunk |
| Well, I got somethin' to tell ya, baby |
| I want you to keep it, a-to yourself |
| I don’t want you even, a-tell Mr. So an So |
| He doesn’t wanna know nobody else |
| But I don’t want you to tell any, baby |
| Ple-eease tell nobody else |
| I don’t want you even warnin' yo' baby |
| Tell nobody else |
